 I recently toured the world-famous Thomson's Falls situated next to one of Kenya's highest towns, Nyahururu.
Placed at 2360 m above the sea level, the falls descends a 72m cliff creating mist that feeds the dense forest below. Although I had travelled solo I got some nice company from one Steve and his friends who convinced me to accompany them to the bottom of the ravine.
The walk down started off peaceful enough. Walking along a downhill bushwalk of sorts was so thrilling and the giant stepping stones provided excellent photo opportunity to help us take a break.
Steve and I questioned why everyone returning back from the falls were wet unaware that the falls were the reason behind their slightly soaked appearances.

 As you walk up to Victoria Falls' tourist viewing area, the panoramic view of the world's largest water curtain is breathtaking.
Referred to by the locals as Mosi oa Tunya (the smoke that thunders), the 1,708 metres wide waterfall drops about 128 metres into Bakota Gorge -which runs 120 metres across- forming dense mist that covers the whole area.
In deed, the water falls with such a high velocity as to create a thick mist that rises over 150 meters.
